Chicken Cordon Bleu Pockets

Recipe Yields 8 hot pockets

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1/4 cup green onions
• 1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1 80z cream cheese softened
• 1 cups italian blend cheese
• 2 80z cans of crescent rolls
• 1 egg whipped (for egg wash)

Directions: 

1. In a medium sized mixing bowl stir together the chicken, ham, onions, garlic, parsley, cream cheese and italian cheese.
2. Open up your can of crescent rolls.  Each can will come with 8 triangle shaped rolls, but you want 4 rectangle rolls. Take your fingers and firmly press the two triangles together to form 4 rectangle rolls.
3. Divide the chicken ham mixture in half, in the bowl.  Then divide each half into four parts. This will give you 8 portions (to put into your 8 rolls).
4. Place the chicken and ham mixture on one side of the crescent roll.
5. Take the other half of the dough and fold it over the top, use a fork to seal the edged and press the top and bottom of the dough together.
6. In a small bowl whisk  egg with 1 tablespoon water, to create an egg wash.
7. Use a kitchen brush to brush the egg wash onto the rolls.
8. Bake at 375 degrees for 13-15 minutes or till golden brown.

Enjoy!
